Royal fans left raging after spotting Queen Camilla checking her watch during coronation concert

Viewers of the coronation concert were raging after they spotted Queen Camilla checking her watch while Lionel Richie was performing. Here's the moment:

It started with Pete Tong playing Ibiza classics at King Charles III's request, went onto Olly Murs and then weaved through a number of other performances before Lionel Richie took to the stage.

He opened his set by singing 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' and almost everyone was absolutely loving it, though people watching the performance on TV noticed that a very famous audience member was not as into the music as the rest of the crowd.

Some viewers spotted Queen Camilla looking down at her watch as Richie wrapped up the song and they are not happy that she's seemingly quite bored of this already.

"Yes Camilla, we caught you checking your watch," one person wrote on social media, while another said the Queen was 'soo disinterested' and 'not smiling at all'.

Someone said she 'looked like she was sucking lemons' during Richie's performance and another quipped that Charles was 'at least making a bit of an effort to enjoy himself'.

One wondered why she was doing it as they said she was acting 'as if she's unaware that there are cameras looking for their reactions'.

More people encouraged the new Queen to hang on as she had given a 'look and a half before looking at her watch'.

Perhaps she was less bored and wanting to go home and more wondering what time Katy Perry was going to start performing, as we all know that's what we're all waiting for.

With a show like this there are going to be some acts which blow you away and others which leave you glad that they're not doing the whole show.

However, others thought that Camilla's watch checking was a whole mood as they were likewise wondering how much longer the coronation concert had left to go.

One said the concert was 'crap' and that the Queen 'speaks for a nation' by looking down at her watch, while another said they were 'quite obsessed with bored s**tless Camilla looking at her watch'.

Someone else said it was their 'highlight so far', which is a pretty devastating comment on the likes of Pete Tong and his Ibiza classics tunes, or Lionel Richie's singing.

A fourth joked that Camilla was wondering whether 'she can be back to watch The Shawshank Redemption at 10' (it's on BBC Two if you're interested).
